Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 331 - 326: Let’s See If She’s Worthy
After the team performance ended, the celebration ceremony officially concluded.
Everything went smoothly without any mishaps.
However, Feng Lei and Ye Tong in the stands made it to the trending search.
Feng Lei, known as the trending prince of the entertainment circle, was recognized by sharp-eyed netizens among many faces during a quick live stream scan, pulling Ye Tong who was sitting next to him into the spotlight.
Luckily, Ye Tong was wearing sunglasses and a hat, making it difficult for people to guess her identity for a while.
This trending topic came unexpectedly.
Five headlines consecutively trended:
#Young Master Feng attends celebration with mysterious woman#
#Mysterious woman’s identity next to Feng Lei#
#Young Master Feng’s status in Beijing circle#
...
The trending topics quickly fermented online, but Ye Tong was unaware.
Seeing the trending search, Jin Jiaojiao’s face looked a bit unsightly.
She was planning to further advance her relationship with Feng Lei and elevate her status in the circle, but the sudden trending search broke a nail for her in surprise.
Jin Jiaojiao is a new star that Star Entertainment is heavily promoting, with a pure and clean appearance, often called the nation’s first love face and the white moonlight of student days by fans.
She starred and participated as a scriptwriter in "Love in Ningxia," winning the Golden Dove Award for Best Newcomer and Best Scriptwriter. Thus, she was acclaimed in the industry as the most talented "gifted woman."
Recently, Star Entertainment planned to have her participate in several popular variety shows, with Feng Lei personally accompanying her to several inner-circle banquets.
This was specially requested by Feng Lei’s mother, Qin Huaishu, because Jin Jiaojiao is the daughter of Qin Huaishu’s best friend. Qin Huaishu always treated her as half a daughter and used to jokingly call her a future daughter-in-law.
Jin Jiaojiao had been living in West Continent, and only after graduating and joining the entertainment industry did she return to Hua Continent, continuously being cared for by Feng Lei afterward.
Recently, the Jin Family intended to develop in Hua Continent and were inclined toward marriage with the Feng Family, so in Jin Jiaojiao’s mind, Feng Lei counted as half her man.
Previously, when Feng Lei was rumored with other female celebrities, she didn’t care because she knew Qin Huaishu would never let Feng Lei marry them into the Feng Family.
So most of Feng Lei’s connections with those female celebrities were for the moment, until the sudden emergence of a small actress named Ye Tong caught her attention.
Feng Lei not only offered a high salary to recruit her into Star Entertainment but also secretly instructed a popular actress at Star Entertainment to take special care of this small actress in Director Lin’s crew. Even a few days ago, Qin Huaishu’s desk had materials on Ye Tong.
If it were before, Qin Huaishu would never take the trouble to investigate a female celebrity or actress appearing beside her son.
Driven by a woman’s intuition, she felt Feng Lei was different with her than with other stars.
So she was very attentive to Feng Lei’s schedule recently, especially when he went to Anhe.
After hearing that Feng Lei was to represent the Feng Family at the 120th-anniversary official event in Anhe City, she expressed her wish to attend but was refused by Feng Lei, and even Qin Huaishu declined her gently.
Later, she heard that this event was official, and only specific invited people could attend, which made her abandon the thought of going.
Unexpectedly, Feng Lei attended the event with Ye Tong.
While others couldn’t recognize the woman beside Feng Lei, she immediately recognized Ye Tong’s identity.
She has thoroughly investigated Ye Tong recently, almost going through her entire ancestry.
A family and status like Ye Tong’s usually wouldn’t qualify to appear in such event venues unless brought in by Feng Lei.
Thinking of this, Jin Jiaojiao felt a surge of anger and told her assistant, "Book me a ticket to Anhe."
Want to be Mrs. Feng? Let’s see if she’s qualified enough.
On the other side, Ye Tong, along with the Bai Family siblings, Lin Yuanyang, You Le, and the brothers from the Gu Family and the Feng Family, prepared to head to Anhe International Hotel for a meal.
This was a private room booked by Bai Yusen in advance, originally for celebrating Bai Xiaotang.
Who would’ve thought the Feng Family and the Gu Family would shamelessly rub in for a meal, even sealing a red packet for Bai Xiaotang, forcing Bai Yusen to accept it reluctantly.
The group was moving along the VIP passageway when suddenly they were stopped by people in black uniforms with masks on their faces.
The identity of the other party was obvious.
Even families like the Gu Family, Bai Family, and Lin Family from the Inner City of Beijing would give them deference.
"Hello, we are from the Special Ability Team, and Mr. Fu invites Mr. Bai, Miss Bai, Mr. Lin, Miss Ye, and Miss You for lunch."
The Gu Family and Feng Family brothers’ faces subtly changed but quickly normalized.
Aside from You Le, who couldn’t guess who Mr. Fu was, everyone else had a clue, and Ye Tong was even more shocked and nervous internally.
Could Mr. Fu be that one...
No way! Could it really be...
Ye Tong screamed internally like a marmot but kept a very calm face.
Especially seeing everyone else looking unperturbed, she knew that getting excited would surely be embarrassing.
Subsequently, the group split paths, with those named following the Special Ability Team into a business car.
As for Bai Yusen’s brought bodyguards, they were all held back.
The business car didn’t drive far but headed to a quiet and elegant private courtyard near the International Hotel.
This place is a famous private restaurant in Anhe that’s usually hard to get a reservation for.
When they arrived, they drove straight in from the back gate.
From the courtyard gate to the dining area in a two-floor small building, there were many people standing in black suits with walkie-talkies at their waists.
Although they weren’t wearing masks, their demeanor was unlike ordinary people, resembling elites from the base.
At this moment, You Le vaguely guessed who invited them for the meal.
But she was unsure, so she nudged Lin Yuanyang’s arm and asked in a low voice, "Which Fu?"
"The most famous Fu."
You Le’s pupils instantly dilated, she staggered a couple of steps and almost tripped over herself.
Walking at the forefront, the Bai Family siblings, were a bit surprised why the Fu Family invited Ye Tong and You Le, but seeing Ji Ning inside the private room, they realized.
It’s not the Bai Family’s sake.
"Sister Ning?" Bai Xiaotang called out.
Ji Ning held a teacup and responded with a soft "Mm."
Around the round table in the room sat several people, each a familiar face from television.
People whose steps could shake international society.
The Bai siblings didn’t expect to see beyond Fu Ninghao and Fu Linyang, to also encounter Ye Family and Li Family heads.
Clearly, Lin Yuanyang, Ye Tong, and You Le didn’t anticipate meeting so many big figures.
Moreover, seeing everyone together at once left them standing at the door hesitating to move.
Fu Ninghao waved to the people at the door, "Yusen, Tangtang, and the three of you, please come in."
Fu Ninghao carried no superior air, easily creating goodwill, alleviating Lin Yuanyang, Ye Tong, and You Le, who followed Bai Xiaotang into the room.
Inside were professional guides, who pulled out chairs for them, inviting them to sit.
Fu Ninghao looked at Bai Xiaotang with a cheerful smile, praising, "Tangtang, I saw your performance and even recorded it."
Bai Xiaotang nervously stood up immediately, bowing to Fu Ninghao, "Thank you, Grandpa Fu."
Everyone: ...
